Hello guy, I am thinking about purchasing a set of all black with red lip, 18" staggered rims for my car.

Everyone goes for the large wheel or 5 spoke which looks great and all but was just wondering who here has staggered? If so can you post pics PLEASE because for the life of me I cant find anything online.

Thanks

Sam

 

Staggered on a FWD? I don't know about that one.

 

That probably is a bad idea 18's front to back will look great

 

Is or isn't?

Why is it bad? I seen staggered on SUV's? Its because of the weight right?

Sorry for the rookie questions.. this is my first car.. got it when I graduated highschool 2 years ago.

Thanks for the help fellas.

 

Well staggered would be pointless unless you made the front tires wider. Larger in diameter would look kind of dumb.

 

What are staggered rims?

 

not these exact ones... but here is what im shooting for with black caps.

Think you could crop the woods and the extraneous neighborhood out of you Signature Photo? Resize it down a notch.

 

Staggered wheels are where the drive wheels are bigger than the others, generally done on RWD cars as the bigger rear tires provide better traction during launch. I think most 'Vettes now come with staggered wheels from stock, and it's often seen on older muscle cars as well.

Some pictures I grabbed off google;

have you ever look into mustang bullitt wheels? the 18x9 deep dish look awesome on our monte. it get that mean stance looks. i know alot of people would disagree with me putting a different bolt pattern on our car, but if you like the attention and look who care! i had these bullitt for over six months now without any issue. tires are 255/45/18 all around. the bad thing about having wider tire up front when going fast or drag racing is when you hit a bump or cracked on the pavement better hold on the steering wheel tight cause the wheel will go which ever side of the road it wants to go. i like my bullitt wheels!
